A troupemate of mine and I will be chorographing and performing a duet at our student showcase in May. The song we've chosen is a drum solo - something rather complicated and upbeat - and the name of the song, loosely translated, means "Feline Predator". We've decided that leopard print costumes would be appropriate.
Trouble is, I don't own a leopard print costume.
Now, as much as I'd love to order a beautiful Turkish leopard-print Bella, I just can't afford $900 for a costume right now. As a student dancer, this costume will likely get used once or twice a year, at most.
I can, however, order a leopard-print skirt and gauntlets, and then wear a black bedleh with it - affordable, versatile and classic.
I don't own a black bedleh, either. So that's where we begin.
